ASUS ZenScreen MB166C: 15.6" Portable Monitor with Anti Glare Screen, Flicker-Free & Blue Light Filter - Ideal for Productivity and Entertainment Review

I have BOTH USB 3.0 ("B") and USB C ("C") versions of this monitor and it can be difficult to read some of the reviews as you will see conflicting information - In my opinion there should be three completely different products on Revain, each with their own reviews, but since they're mixed it can be difficult to tell when people are talking about something you're interested in. Your cases are different. The C version of the case is MUCH better, more adjustable and not as fragile as the stand…

Exactly what I was looking for. I'm a software developer and I work both on and off the website. When I work in the office or at home, I have a dual monitor setup in addition to my work laptop. But when I'm really on the go, working in conference rooms, or doing team coding sessions, I really feel like I'm limited to one monitor. It's just nice to be able to spread code across multiple screens while working on related code. Or you can open the API documentation on one screen while vim is…

I bought it before my abdominal surgery to work from home in bed. (It's also worth getting an adjustable bed, haha!) It helped so much! Because the stand is the width of the monitor, it sits well on a bed or on your lap, even if the surface is uneven or plush like a blanket. I've sometimes placed both my laptop and this monitor on a wooden lap table - the table wasn't wide enough for both, so I just placed the portable monitor a little behind the laptop and used one side of it. And sometimes I…

On a business trip in 2015, I was at the airport and saw a fellow passenger with a smart, thin travel monitor plugged into the USB port on her laptop. We had a brief chat about this amazing ASUS portable monitor and she laughed as she told me how many times she could sell it to another business traveler and how she would make a fortune on the sale commission. I ordered my first ASUS travel monitor right at the airport through Revain. This monitor has traveled the world with me and has never let

I would recommend getting the latest drivers directly from DisplayLink.com. In this case, if you want the display orientation to rotate automatically, you need to use the bundled CD (or a newer version of the software available on the ASUS website). when you physically rotate the display. I'm more of a minimalist when it comes to the software I install on my computers so I just installed the drivers and then it works as you would expect. The 1080p resolution and IPS panel make it great, and the

Hmmm. Three stars or four? First I read all the reviews and questions I could find about how thin it is and it really is. But it never occurred to me to really perceive other dimensions. At 15 inches, this doesn't fit in any of my three computer bags, and one is quite wide. So I have to carry it separately. I wish they could at least put a fingertip grip on it considering it's probably too wide for most laptop cases. Giving zero stars for this because it's my own fucking fault. The info was…

So far so good for me and I use it less than 3-5 times a week. I have a cyber security company, we use our computer equipment 24/7. I'm moving from Mac to Dell/Windows as most of my customers are Windows users. So how could you understand her headache better than yourself? Other than that, the monitor is sharp and easy to view, connects seamlessly, is the perfect size to fit in my laptop bag, is lightweight, and the tripod mount on the back is the perfect way to mount it; With the right table…

I've only had it for a few days but it's perfect for exactly what I need. I have 3 monitors in the office, although I work from home most days and only work on my single screen laptop. It was slowing down my work so I needed another monitor to help with that. However, I didn't want a large monitor to take up my entire desk, so I figured this portable monitor would be perfect for me to put away when I've finished my daily work. It was great - just what I needed. The included cable plugs directly

I travel a lot so this will come in handy, I was about to buy a portable monitor. So glad I finally did. I have a second workplace, which is very small compared to my home office. I would get very frustrated working from a monitor. I don't know why I waited so long. I'm glad I pulled the trigger and got the monitor. The quality is excellent and the size does the trick!

The worst thing about this monitor is that I didn't even know they existed until now! I have the USB-C version without the battery and it's amazing. Plug and play, it worked straight away with my HP laptop as well as my Dell work laptop with absolutely no fuss. I don't even have to worry about keeping it charged since it's powered by the laptop itself. It is so easy. I wish I had found this over 2 years ago, it would have solved all my remote work problems, but now I am so happy with it.

Like many parents who run a Zoom school, I wanted a small monitor that would reflect the Zoom lesson for kids so they could stay engaged for as long as possible. I have an Asus C434T Chromebook, so I took a chance buying an Asus MB169B+ portable monitor, assuming the same brand would have the best chance of compatibility. The Revain and Asus website doesn't say this monitor will work with a Chromebook. Asus' technical support hotline could not confirm that the C434T would be Chromebook…

I usually work with a 49" widescreen monitor, but I travel a lot for work, so I need another screen so I can be as productive as possible. This screen was a nice addition to my laptop. It works well with the included cable and does not require an additional power supply. 2 cons of this monitor. 1. The included USB 3.0 cable can be easily detached. Considering USB-C has been around for years, this type of connection was disappointing. The case, which is supposed to serve as a stand, is actually…

I have had this monitor since December 2017 and it has been a great purchase. At first I only used it when traveling and for that alone it was worth it. That's a huge performance boost. I've been using it a lot more lately when going to work elsewhere now that I usually work from home. I had to buy a better stand and cable to make it more versatile, but those were small additions. This is why 4 starts instead of 5. The "stand" is a body and has very delicate valves to hold it in place. If you…

The screen on this one is great. Plug and play, easy to use. The quality is excellent. Does exactly what it says. The only drawback is the stand. This isn't the best stand. And it doesn't even work very well as a porter, so I'm not sure what they were thinking. This is very much like an afterthought. In fact, I'm a little nervous about putting this thing on a stand because there really isn't anything mechanically blocking the screen. OK What the heck. There isn't even a ledge on the stand to…

For the price, this screen is very good. Adding a grip is weird though. It's a stylus but the screen isn't touch sensitive it's a metal stylus, although it works great it needs a soft touch due to the weight. A pen is just an ink pen. It holds the screen phenomenally well but has no other interface to the screen and no place to store it along with the screen or flip top. I don't hate the stylus, I just feel like it probably misleads people into thinking it's a touchscreen when it isn't. . I…

Color gamut is pretty narrow, brightness isn't perfect, but as a large portable travel monitor, it's fine. I found it impossible to tell what was going on as I watched the latest HOTD with lots of scenes shot in the dark and reverted to either my alternative smaller Lenovo M14 screen or the smaller LG Gram laptop screen, to see what was going on in near total darkness. But it's a normal everyday monitor for office etc. and with a better 3rd party stand which makes sense.

I bought two of these for a very specific use case. I have a Phillips 346B monitor with a built in USB 3.0 hub. I needed a single cable solution to connect my laptop and also needed more monitor space so I installed a cable on each side so it can be laid out for everyday use in my WFH office. Both connect to a hub, and a single USB-C connection to one of my laptops supports both monitors via DisplayLink, as well as the main monitor. I equipped them with rotating quick releases so I can take…

The screen itself is amazing and is always with me wherever I go. I have given them to many on our team and they all love them. The only problem is that the stand is pretty messy to set up, so I have to read the instructions every time I use it. I can't get used to the way he sits. It's not obvious. But in general, you should get one of these. You'll be glad you did.

When it works, it works very well. It doesn't like cold and will sometimes refuse to turn on or stay on when it's a little cold (like in a heated room but sitting against an outside wall). It also refuses to turn on (e.g. to check battery levels) when not connected to anything, which was confusing at first but is now just frustrating.

Can't live without it - I replaced my AOC screen with this one and am happy with the end result (although the mount could be nicer but it still works)
